Joe Albero Shuts Down The Daily Times
Yesterday, SBYNews broke the story that the $84 million dollar wastewater facility that had been completed six months ago was still not in compliance with MDE standards (pumping raw sewage into the Wicomico River). This “unique” (untried) method of wastewater treatment was, and is still not working after six months of operation, which means basically, in my taking of this information, that the City of Salisbury has been pumping raw sewage into the Wicomico River for the last six months?
WWTF Failure
Since the story broke on SBYNews.com, many people wanted to comment on the story on the Daily Times’ website, only to find that they were suddenly not registered members, and were not able to comment on any of the Daily times’ stories. I actually went to the degree of trying to sign up as a new user under a different email address, and was never sent the confirming email to set up the account. This is the epitome of why the Daily Times needs to drown with the Tilghman, Comegys, Shields, corporation and to destroy the Salisbury club.
This is truly not only a shame to the Great City of Salisbury, but an insult to the citizens of this great City. We are steadfast in our efforts to curb crime and overspending and to bring a greater class to Salisbury, but our Great Leader, with her own agenda, along with Gary Comegys, trashes the common good for her own agenda time and again.
As a result of this ridiculous sham that the mayor talked so proudly of just in the last 2 weeks, I have nothing to say but to vote against Mr. Comegys, who has been a solid proponent for this system, Vote for Jim Ireton for Mayor, and Ms. Campbell who has been a solid opponent to this system, and get Shanie out of office just because she can’t tell “Wastewater” from “Shinola” when it comes to crime statistics. Ms Polk is running against her, and needs to be put in to this position.
I want to furthermore use this opportunity to urge all the registered voters out there that there is a serious need that just for one day out of your lives that you need to come out and vote, The image is clear, and you know how it has to go, but without your vote, the incumbents stand a chance of winning. A few minutes of your time at the polls is nothing compared to the gross overspending of your tax dollars Voting this time is equivalent of reducing your taxes, and seeing an improved City of Salisbury.

James M. Bennett High Hosts Argentinian Singer Justo Lamas
James M. Bennett High Hosts Argentinian Singer Justo Lamas in Concert for 600 Shore Spanish Students, 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 24
James M. Bennett High School will host a concert by Argentinian singer/motivational speaker Justo Lamas, from 10-11:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 24, in the Bennett Auditorium. Some 600 students from middle and high school Spanish classes from public and private schools in Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Caroline counties will attend this concert.
Justo Lamas is a motivational speaker/singer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He will be available after the concert to "meet and greet" with the students. Find out more about Justo Lamas at http://justolamas.com/index2.php
"I saw Justo in concert at the North East Conference for Foreign Language Teachers in New York City last March. I was impressed with his energy and his message and decided to see if he was available to come here," said Sharon Birch, Spanish I/II teacher at JMB. "I felt at the time that he was someone with whom my students might be able to connect. One of my primary goals in teaching Spanish is to make it as 'real' as possible. Anything that may get them excited about studying Spanish, anything that may add to their vocabulary, anything that is positive and encouraging, is something in which I am interested."
Lamas strongly encourages prior preparation, and really wants the students to be familiar with his songs before he comes. JMB All-State Singers Leah Carpenter and Grace Cho, both Spanish III students, will join Lamas onstage to sing, while other students will also participate in the concert.
"My students have been working with these songs periodically all year. Several have learned to play one of his songs on their band instruments and several are going to sing or dance with him on stage," Birch said. "To say that we are getting excited is putting it mildly."

FLAT TIRE
Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully, got out of the car and opened the trunk. I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.
They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe it! They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.
To my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns and waving like crazy.
It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking toward me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!
"What's going on here?"
"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.
"Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"
I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, "Hellooooo, those are my emergency flashers!"

Barrie Tilghman and Poogate
POOGATE
Tens of millions of dollars spent and the new waste water treatment plant just doesn't work. Salisbury Mayor Barrie Tilghman is doing all she can to spin this looming fiscal and political disaster.
"We're 99% compliant." "The WWTP is 'substantially' complete."
There are just a few problems Barrie. "Substantially complete" isn't complete. "99% compliant" isn't good enough for Ivory soap, much less the Maryland Department of the Environment and the EPA.
At Tilghman's press conference today, she knew that she couldn't put enough lipstick on this pig by spinning those lines, so she pulled the same old tricks out of her old, shabby, tattered bag - she blamed it on the "blogs" and smeared the only two members of the city government that give a tinker's damn about the city's taxpayers and water and sewer ratepayers.
Without naming them directly, Tilghman implied that councilwomen Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen violated privilege by "leaking" information about the city's Rube Goldberg WWTP and the fact that the city cannot meet it's state mandated May 1 permit deadline to those dirty, nasty blogs (like the one her son writes for). As usual, the facts don't support Tilghman.
Stay tuned sports fans. We'll have more (a lot more) at 8:30 AM.

A New Record Day Has Arrived!
Salisbury News just blasted away our former record day and the night is still very young! You know something Folks. Even though this Mayor takes every opportunity to try to blast the Blogs, it always backfires on her and rewards us with mega hits. Mind you, she's getting smarter by not naming us by Salisbury News but once everyone Googles us or lets just say the Salisbury Waste Water Treatment Plant, Salisbury News comes right up on top and guess what, there we are! Dee, Dee, Deeee!
In fact, when you do Google the Salisbury Waste Water Treatment Plant we are the #1 Google Hit. So thanks again Barrie!
The above photo was taken today at the Press Conference and clearly shows one of the many faces of Mayor Barrie Tilghman. Lots of red in that face if you ask me. I don't know about you Barrie but I've had one of the best Birthday's I've ever experienced. Who would have ever dreamed my best present I have ever received would have actually come from you!
Two SPD Officers Escorted Out Of Police Department?
Word on the street is that a Cpl and a Lt were asked to turn in their guns and badges and were escorted out of the Salisbury Police Department today.
One source says they heard their was some suspensions today. The Roman Empire is crashing Folks. The SPD must be down quite a bit of Officers at this point and certainly Mr. Comegys can't actually believe the Department is fully staffed, as he likes to claim and Forums and Debates.
When I hear more in this I'll let you know.........

Voice Your Opinion On The Daily Times
The Daily Times has finally come up with a partial article, (brief as it may be) on the Salisbury WWTP. However, commenters are HOT. Their story says:
SALISBURY: City hires new consultant for WWTP, expects delays
Salisbury — Mayor Barrie Parsons Tilghman announced today the city has entered into contract with a new consultant for the completion of the Waste Water Treatment Plant upgrade and is requesting a permit extension from Maryland Department of the Environment.
Tilghman said certain filters within the system that drive the Biological Nutrient Removal process have slowed in efficiency and have delayed the testing of another new component.
See the full story in The Daily Times on Tuesday.
Here's ONE of the comments......

Don't you people at the Daily Times realize how ridiculous your "slant" on these issues is? It can't be accidental that EVERY time these "leaders" screw up you choose to soft-pedal the situation....you cannot still believe that you have any credibility at all with the public, or that you're anything except a joke. I cancelled my subscription because of bad service a couple of years ago, and have since been trying to follow local issues online thru your website....the absolute mess that has been made of the city and the wasteful use of tax money should have been HONESTLY reported, instead you're just printing press releases issues from the foxes who are in the henhouse.
This is the last straw for me. You NEED to go out of business. I just feel sorry for some of your loyal employees, who have no control over your editorial position. Maybe their next employers will know the truth when they trip over it. You don't.

O M G!
Wait till GA Harrison puts up a Post tonight about the Press Conference! I know, this is a total tease but the lies and those caught in them today were just UNBELIEVABLE!
Whatever you do, watch 47 & 16 News tonight at 6:00 PM. Then come back and see the posts that follow here. There will be a Post tonight, one tomorrow and one the following day. Man, it just doesn't get any better than this Folks.

Salisbury's $84,000,000.00 Waste Water Treatment Plant Won't Work!
.jpg)
.jpg)
.jpg)
While many have wondered where the notorious Mayor Barrie Tilghman of Salisbury has been this past year, Salisbury News has the answer. She's been in hiding because she knew something none of you were aware of.
Ladies & Gentlemen, what you are about to hear is by far the biggest cluster, (you know what) the Eastern Shore has ever seen. The Salisbury Waste Water Treatment Plant could be a massive SCAM, costing Salisbury Taxpayers more than $40,000,000.00! That's right, it doesn't work and over the past 6 months your Mayor has known the system wasn't going to work!
Mayoral Candidate Gary Comegys prides himself on voting yes to a "Proprietary System." Here's the thing. Under accomplishments on his Campaign Website it says, " New Waste Water Treatment Plant (many years in the planning and design)" During debates and forum's he's constantly taking the position of just how proud he is on the new WWTP and how he was instrumental in the process, yet he has known there were some very serious issues at hand with it and kept it quiet.
This proprietary system has NEVER been made before, other than a model, (whatever that means) it has never been proven to work. It's a patented system, (so we were all told) in which, should ANYTHING ever go wrong, you can only rely on ONE company, (the company that designed this pipe dream) to fix it. Guess what, they can't fix it either!
At this very moment the company that was handling the OVERSIGHT of the Contractor has in fact been suspended. This is NOT good Folks. I have documents below proving the system will NOT work and your Mayor and Gary Comegys have known about this problem for quite some time. This is not the kind of people you want running your City, that's for sure. They want ALL of this to slide by all of you in the hopes of getting it past the election and then start pointing fingers later.
However, while Salisbury News has been aware of this situation since late Friday night, I held off exposing it so it would gain the biggest impact on Monday. To put it frankly with all of you, YOU'RE SCREWED! Mayor Tilghman sold you snake oil and Gary Comegys was the Vice President.
The Tilghman Administration has in fact contacted the MDE and have asked for yet another extension. Even though Mayor Tilghman stated we'd all be on line last September, even though she recently went so far as stated we're on time with the WWTP, SHE LIED! Her own State of the City Address said, it "was substantially completed in 2008." This was said on March 13, 2009.
A Consultant has been hired for the sum of $20,000.00 to come in and help figure out what has happened and what they currently have. In his letter dated 3-13-09 he stated, "It sounds like your treatment plant has been plagued with both process and physical/mechanical problems since start up." He goes on to expand on his rates both for engineering AND litigation. His litigation fees as an experts are $400.00 an hour, not included in his $20,000.00 fee. When "I" read litigation fees, someone is getting sued! Read between the lines Folks!
In a memorandum to the Mayor and Council dated 3-16-09 Mr. Messick states that "the City's engineering consultant, O'Brien & Gere Engineers, has been unable, after 6 months, to start up the new WWTP processes for compliance with the NPDES Permit Limits which are to come into effect on May 1, 2009." He goes on to say, "The City has selected another Engineer / Operations Expert (suspending O'Brien & Gere Engineers, Inc.) to assist the City in wastewater-treatment-process engineering, functional operations and adjustments for the upgraded and expanded WWTP processes and facilitate compliance with NPDES limits within the remaining approximate 1.5 - month time period, to avoid enforcement measures from MDE and EPA and prevent a non-compliant discharge to the environment from the Salisbury WWTP."
Just how much more of this crap are you people going to take. Here you have Comegys and Tilghman agreeing to pay out $40,000,000.00 for a system that has never been proven. They told you this thing would do things no other Plant could achieve, yet they never researched a finished product and now it will not work.
Ladies & Gentlemen, ANY good business person would NEVER hire a company to install a unique product for $40,000,000.00 that has never been proven! This is not a simple mistake. The Mayor, (through these letters) has been well aware that the system is NOT WORKING, yet she says nothing. The system was supposed to be up and running last September, it is not. Now, through Salisbury News you are learning for the very first time that things are not just bad, they're very bad.
This Mayor should be impeached immediately as ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The images below are the recent series of letters going back and forth on this matter, proving what I'm saying is accurate. You can click on these images and enlarge them and read for yourself just what's going on.
Gary Comegys rubber stamped far too many items as a Councilman. Developer reimbursements, the old mall, Sassafras annexation, the WWTP, can someone please tell me what this guy has done right? Muir Boda challenged Debbie Campbell for voting "NO" too often. Hey Muir, Debbie voted "NO" on most of the WWTP items too, what say you now?
If you want the entire Eastern Shore laughing at the City of Salisbury because the citizens were so stupid they actually voted this guy into office as Mayor, my God, give Gary Comegys your vote. If you want to wise up and throw these bums out of office once and for all, make a stand April 7th Ladies & Gentlemen and send these people the right kind of message, vote Jim Ireton.
Clearly this will be all over the local news by 12:00 today and if it isn't, well, then you'll know just how much power Barrie Tilghman has over the media. The documents I have provided clearly show this has been an issue for at least the past 6 months and nothing was said to you. The cover ups are over. The election is over. Get this woman out of the way because Jim Ireton has a lot of work ahead of him. Shame on you Barrie Tilghman AND Gary Comegys!
Early Morning Crash Claims Dover Woman’s Life
Dover – The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating an early morning fatal crash that has killed a 78-year-old Dover woman. Troopers responded to the 3-car crash today at 7:43 am on Lebanon Road (State Route 10) at Blades Drive.
Investigators learned a 1995 Nissan Altima, operated by Kenneth L. Owens, 18 of Dover was traveling westbound on SR 10 in the left lane approaching Blades Drive. A 2001 Ford Focus, operated by Brian A. Lucykanish, 17 of Dover was traveling westbound on SR 10 behind the Altima.
A 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, operated by Emily M. Thompson, 78 of Dover was stopped on Blades Drive, waiting to cross over the westbound lanes of SR 10, when she entered the roadway in the path of travel of the Altima. As a result of this act, the Altima struck the Grand Am in the left rear causing the crash.
After the impact, the Focus then struck the Altima eventually leaving all vehicles coming to rest in the roadway. Because of the crash, the operator of the Pontiac Grand Am, Ms. Thompson, died at Kent General Hospital as a result of injuries sustained. She was wearing a seatbelt.
The other two operators were transported to Kent General Hospital, treated, and released for minor injuries. Currently, their seatbelt use in unknown. Alcohol is not a factor in the crash. The roadway was closed for approximately 3 hours and has been reopened.
The crash remains under investigation.
COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING ON FISCAL YEAR 2010 OPERATING BUDGET
Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr. announced today that his annual meeting to present his operating budget to the public is set for Thursday, April 2nd, at 7:00 P.M. in the Flanders Room of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center.
Mr. Pollitt commented, “To say the least, preparing this year’s budget in the current economic atmosphere is challenging. I expect county revenues to be down by about $12 Million. That equals an operating budget of approximately $117 Million. Just two years ago, when I struck my first budget, we were at $132 Million. At the same time, the county tax rate has decreased. In Fiscal Year 2010, the tax rate will be below what it was in 1989. The major portion of the county budget is dedicated to education and public safety. There isn’t much left after that.”
“I am eager to share the details of my proposed budget with all of our citizens at the meeting on April 2nd,” continued Pollitt, “we have many challenges in front of us and we need to move forward together.”
Mr. Pollitt will submit his budget proposal to the County Council by April 15th. Per the Wicomico County Charter, the Council may delete from line items of the proposal but they may not add to line items or the total. If deletions are made, the executive may allocate that amount to other items. If the Council fails to approve the original or amended budget by June 15th, the budget as submitted goes into effect on July 1st.
Ireton Responds to Announcement of Tilghmans Press Conference on WWTP
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, March 23rd, 3:45 pm
Ireton responds to announcement of Tilghman Press Conference on Wastewater Treatment Plant
--Salisbury--Candidate for Salisbury Mayor, Jim Ireton, today responded to yet another last minute, end of term, press conference by Salisbury Mayor Barrie Parsons Tilghman. Ireton said "It is my hope that someone in the media here in Salisbury will just ask the simple question: The plant cost taxpayers 40 million dollars. Mrs Tilghman, how much more will it cost to get this working?" This news at the Wastewater Treatment Plant comes on the heels of the Environmental Task Force recommending filtration systems for outfall pipes (that Ireton testified in favor of, and Mr. Comegys voted twice in the same night against) and the news that no report is due out from the Mayor's Crime Task Force. "We have 14 days until this kind of governance by drama ends. I encourage our citizens to listen carefully to what Mayor Tilghman has to say about taking full responsibility, you'll notice that we have heard it all before." Ireton added.

Today at noon, the Wicomico County Public Schools received the same threatening electronic messages which were received in Delaware last week, with the addition of Parkside High School and Wicomico High School to the message. We have been working closely since we became aware of this situation in cooperation with the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office which has determined that the threats were unfounded.
We are pleased to announce that, through fast response and diligent investigation, a suspect was apprehended, interviewed and, subsequently, confessed and was arrested. The suspect is a 16-year old male Wicomico County student living in Salisbury.
“The Wicomico County Public Schools would like to thank the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office for its excellent work on this matter and wishes to assure the parents and guardians of students in the school system that safety is our first priority,” said Dr. John Fredericksen, Superintendent of Schools. Parents and guardians with questions or concerns should contact their child’s principal.
“We will investigate incidents like these very aggressively. We take our students’ safety absolutely seriously,” Dr. Fredericksen said. “The school system would also like to thank the student body and parents who assisted with the investigation for the safety of all students.”
A joint press conference with the Superintendent of Schools and Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis will take place at the board at 3 p.m. Monday, March 23.

Are You A Militant?
If you're an anti-abortion activist, or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party candidate or a certain Republican member of Congress, if you possess subversive literature, you very well might be a member of a domestic paramilitary group.
That's according to "The Modern Militia Movement," a report by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), a government collective that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities.
"Due to the current economical and political situation, a lush environment for militia activity has been created," the Feb. 20 report reads. "Unemployment rates are high, as well as costs of living expenses. Additionally, President Elect Barrack [sic] Obama is seen as tight on gun control and many extremists fear that he will enact firearms confiscations."

Franchot Agents Arrest Salisbury Man, 3rd Time
Defendant Arrested for Illegal Cigs Before in 2006 and 2008 --
Annapolis, Md. (March 16, 2009) - Field enforcement agents for Comptroller Peter Franchot confiscated more than 5,000 packs of contraband cigarettes and arrested a Salisbury man Saturday night along U.S. 13 North in Somerset County. The incident marks the defendant’s third arrest in Maryland concerning contraband cigarettes.
“Following the recent announcement of lower than expected revenue projections, unremitting tax scofflaws will not be tolerated,” said Comptroller Franchot. “Maryland needs to keep hold of each dollar it is due. We will continue to crackdown on this kind of illegal activity.”
Comptroller’s agents stopped a 2009 Mercury Sable, with Florida license tags, at approximately 2:30 p.m. and discovered 5,234 packs of contraband cigarettes valued at nearly $26,300. Officials seized the illegal cigarettes and arrested the driver, Ming Keang Louie, 60, of Salisbury, MD. Agents charged Louie with transporting contraband cigarettes and possession of contraband cigarettes. The transporting charge is a felony, which carries a $50 per carton fine and/or two years imprisonment; and the possession offense is a misdemeanor, carrying a $1,000 fine and/or imprisonment, not exceeding one year.
Comptroller agents arrested the man two times prior to this weekend’s incident. In 2006, Louie was charged with transporting and possession of 2,440 packs of contraband cigarettes after being arrested on Route 12 in Worcester County. His second arrest occurred in May 2008 when he was stopped on U.S. 13 North at Brantley Road with 4,870 packs of illegal cigarettes. Again, he was charged with transporting and possession of contraband cigarettes.
Louie was remanded to the Somerset County Detention Center and must post a $30,000 bond before he will be released. The contraband cigarettes and the vehicle were seized as evidence and are subject to state and federal forfeiture laws.
Since the start of fiscal year 2009 on July 1, Comptroller agents have already arrested 89 individuals for tobacco violations and seized 136,448 packs of contraband cigarettes valued at $653,694, compared to the 55 individuals and 55,967 packs that were seized in all of fiscal year 2008.

Since the start of fiscal year 2009 on July 1, Comptroller agents have already arrested 89 individuals for tobacco violations and seized 136,448 packs of contraband cigarettes valued at $653,694, compared to the 55 individuals and 55,967 packs that were seized in all of fiscal year 2008.
Michelle Obama’s Political Gardening
Steven Milloy
March 20, 2009
The Obama-smitten mainstream media lapped up First Lady Michelle Obama’s announcement that she and 5th graders from a local elementary school were going to plant and maintain a vegetable garden at the White House. The New York Times reported,
While the organic garden will provide food for the first family’s meals and formal dinners, its most important role, Mrs. Obama said, will be to educate children about healthful, locally grown fruit and vegetables at a time when obesity and diabetes have become a national concern.
While we’re all for teaching kids about gardening, Michelle Obama’s garden is more about raising green ideologues more than green vegetables:
“Locally grown” food is a green euphemism for their fight against imports and exports of food. The Greens don’t want you eating Chilean grapes in the winter or French wine anytime, for example.
Organic food, of course, is a symbol of the green movement. The sad truth is that organic food is actually harder on the environment than conventionally grown food, requiring more land, water and labor.
The Times acknowledged the garden’s politics as such, reporting that,
The question had taken on political and environmental symbolism, with the Obamas lobbied for months by advocates who believe that growing more food locally, and organically, can lead to more healthful eating and reduce reliance on huge industrial farms that use more oil for transportation and chemicals for fertilizer.
What will Michelle Obama grow? According to the Times:
The Obamas will feed their love of Mexican food with cilantro, tomatillos and hot peppers. Lettuces will include red romaine, green oak leaf, butterhead, red leaf and galactic. There will be spinach, chard, collards and black kale. For desserts, there will be a patch of berries. And herbs will include some more unusual varieties, like anise hyssop and Thai basil. A White House carpenter, Charlie Brandts, who is a beekeeper, will tend two hives for honey.
Wouldn't you like your own taxpayer-paid beekeeper?
What’s the lesson for the 5th graders? That they, too, can grow up to be elitist and get glowing PR for hornswoggling children and federal employees into growing fancy vegetables to promote your anti-people political views and to feed your exotic palate?
The Times also noted,
But the first lady emphasized that she did not want people to feel guilty if they did not have the time for a garden: there are still many changes they can make.
“You can begin in your own cupboard,” she said, “by eliminating processed food, trying to cook a meal a little more often, trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables.”
Aside from the nutritional value offered by a great deal of processed foods, what about all the people who work in or whose jobs depend on the processed foods industry?
Let them eat home-grown berries when they're put out of work?
Finally, there’s Alice Waters, the San Francisco-based “slow food” advocate and Obama fundraiser. Waters likened the White House garden to the World War II “victory gardens,” telling the Associated Press that,
“To have this sort of ‘victory’ garden, this message goes out that everyone can grow a garden and have free food.”
Free food?
Anyone who has gardened knows first -and that home-grown vegetables can hardly be considered as “free.” Between the water, seeds, fertilizer/compost, pest control, labor and worry, gardening is hardly “free.”
But then again, if you're the first lady and White House employees and children are doing all the work, and taxpayers are picking up all the costs, maybe there really is such a thing as a free veggies.

Seaford Teen Arrested For Text Message Bomb Threat
State Police Arrest Seaford Teen in Text Message Bomb Threat – Message Indicated a Bomb at Seaford High and Middle School’s Tomorrow
Released Sunday, March 22, 2009
Seaford – The Delaware State Police arrested a 13 year old Seaford girl today after she generated a text message stating ‘On Monday the 23rd, Seaford High School and Middle School will receive a bomb! No lie!’ and began sending it to other people.
The investigation began after two area juveniles received the forwarded text message last evening and this afternoon. These persons notified their parents who notified authorities. The DSP began the investigation, and similar to Friday’s arrests’, were able to successfully trace the message back to the 13 year old girl.
The girl and her parents were contacted and questioned in regards to the incident. Detectives learned the girl had heard of the bomb scares on Friday in the Laurel School District, which resulted in the schools closing, and she decided to mirror the same incident in hopes that she would not have to go to school on Monday. She attends the Seaford School District.
Additionally, detectives confirmed she generated the message last night at approximately 10:30 pm and sent it to friends and relatives. Detectives have seized the cellular device and discovered the message was erased from the phones history. As a result of the investigation, the juvenile was arrested for two counts of misdemeanor Terroristic Threatening. She was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court #3 and committed to the Stevenson House in Milford in lieu of a $5,000 cash only bond.
Note - investigators have discovered no evidence that a bomb was going to be placed in any of the schools.

So What's On The Agenda For Tomorrow's City Council Meeting?
WOULD YOU BELIEVE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS AT IT AGAIN?
Here we go AGAIN Folks! The Fire Chief David See & Deputy Chief Gordy went behind the City Council's back once again and have applied for a Grant without going to the Council first. One thing you have to give Police Chief Webster credit for is the fact that he respects the process and always goes to the City Council FIRST before he asks for anything.
Not See & Gordy. Now Get This! Even though the COUNTY has backed and supported the Parsonsburg Fire Department HAZMAT Team, these Firefighters aren't fully qualified to be a first responder in a Hazmat environment. The Salisbury Fire Department is however. That being said, there are NO volunteers within the SFD qualified to be on the Hazmat Team, yet the monies being funneled through this equipment will certainly find its way through the Volunteer account.
If you were to ask around the SFD you'll also come to learn that there is but ONE Firefighter truly interested in anything to do with Hazmat, so purchasing this Trailer and having to match the grant funding, it will cost the taxpayers $17,000.00 just for the trailer alone. None of the rest of the Firefighters want anything to do with this, so I'm told. I'm sure we'll see a bunch of anonymous comments saying differently but those who are qualified and ON the Hazmat Team want it.
Now get this. Guess what the Fire Department says they'll need to pull this Trailer. They claim they'll need a $85,000.00 TRUCK to pull it, NOT mentioned in the proposal. You see Folks, there's always a catch to what See & Gordy do. I highly doubt the Parsonsburg Fire Department spent anywhere near $85,000.00 for a pickup truck to pull their Hazmat Trailer but I'm sure it says FORD on the front of it and not MACK! So once they buy one thing they'll quickly be coming to the City asking for the other, you've been warned Taxpayers.
See & Gordy also haven't informed ANYONE that there hasn't been a TRUE or REAL Hazmat Situation in the past 20 years in the City of Salisbury. In fact, you'll probably see more use out of the Fire Boat than you will the Hazmat Team. Conveniently, when YOU call the 911 Center and let's say you have a gasoline leak. 911 considers that a Hazmat condition, yet it's not. Gasoline can be diluted with water. A Hazmat condition is something like a hydrochloric acid spill, something that just doesn't happen here.
Hazmat Teams are for areas like Baltimore or New York. Where box cars carrying these hazardous materials could derail and so forth. Like what I say or not, this Hazmat Team thing is for the birds. It's complete BS! Once again Chief See & Deputy Chief Gordy are trying to milk the taxpayers for more and more toys and playing the game of, well, it will only cost us $17,000.00 and grant money will pay for the rest. However, the grant specifically states that none of the funds can be used to purchase any part of the vehicle that pulls the trailer. So YOU will be paying for a $85,000.00 Truck once Gary Comegys, Louise Smith and Shanie Shields rams it though tomorrow night's Council Meeting. More TOYS for the Boys.
I have made numerous calls on this and there is not a single person I have spoken to that believes this is important. In fact I have been told that Dick Hazel donated a Pepsi Truck that has been used for years for the Hazmat Team and again, it has never been used for a legitimate Hazmat Condition.
Last week Gordy and Hoppes and others spent most of their entire week behind closed door specking out this trailer, (your tax dollars hard at work again) and again, they did all of this without consulting the City Council first. Instead they'll present it AGAIN as a last minute pressure point on PAC14 trying to make RESPONSIBLE Council Members look bad because more than likely we'll see yet another 3-2 vote, I could be wrong. I should say we should see a 0 - 5 vote on this with ALL Council Members using this as an example saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Remember, the Chief will tell you they had 400 to 500 Hazmat calls last year but NONE of them qualified for a Hazmat condition. The good old scare tactic. OMG, we have 400 calls a year for Hazmat, NOT! Now go sell your pie in the sky package to the Council See & Gordy and let's see how you do.
Oh, there was a drop of mercury spilled at the WWTP once, hardly a Hazmat condition. Now all you're going to hear is, well, what if a propane tank ruptures? What if, what if, what if. Your spending needs to be stopped and we the taxpayers are going to take our City back. Vote for Jim Ireton Folks!
Five Seaford Juveniles Arrested in Burglary
Five Seaford Juveniles Arrested in Burglary – K-9 Leads Police to Suspects Home
Released Sunday, March 22, 2009
Seaford – The Delaware State Police have arrested five Seaford juveniles today in reference to a burglary investigation. At approximately 8:16 this morning, a male homeowner reported to police that he observed three males juveniles running from his residence in the 7000 block of Hearns Pond Road east of Conrail Road, Seaford.
The homeowner further advised police that he observed the subjects in possession of a rifle or long BB gun and that his two vehicles and residence were shot with holes. A state police helicopter and K-9 were summonsed to conduct a search of the area for the suspects after the homeowner realized his home was burglarized.
The police K-9 initiated a track that led to a white residence located in the 22000 block of Conrail Road just west of the crime scene. While on scene, a witness confirmed to police that three males ran into the residence carrying what appeared to be a rifle or long BB gun and they believed the subjects reside there. Troopers contacted several juveniles and quickly learned these were the subjects the victim and witness observed fleeing the crime scene and entering the home on Conrail Road.
Additional investigation revealed the three juveniles had committed the burglary early this morning; and that they and two others had committed another Burglary at the same location the day before. The stolen property, including two pool sticks, two BB Guns and several swords, was located inside the residence. The property was recovered and returned to the victim. Investigators note the suspects forced open the front door to gain entry.
As a result of the investigation, the following charges were levied against the following persons:
11 year old Seaford male, 15 year old Seaford male and another 11 year old Seaford male were charged with 2 counts of Burglary 2nd degree, Conspiracy 2nd Degree, 2 counts of Theft, Criminal Mischief and Disorderly Conduct.
Also, two Seaford females were implicated in the burglary that occurred yesterday. A 14 and 13 year old were arrested for a single count of Burglary, Conspiracy 2nd degree, Theft, Criminal Mischief and Disorderly Conduct.
All persons were released to their parents pending court proceedings in Sussex County Family Court.
Excellent Observation
"I just saw on Yahoo that the Obama's are trying out different churches. They can't seem to find the right one for them. Interesting, they can't make a decision on a church, they can't make a decision on a dog, however, the country has given this man the right to make decisions that involve our country. Interesting thought, huh?"
Major Breaking News Story Tomorrow At 9:10 AM
While I have been dying to break this story since Friday evening, I had chosen to hold it off until Monday where I know it will gain far more attention.
Folks, this story is probably the biggest story to ever hit the Eastern Shore, yet it's directed at the City of Salisbury. Be sure to hang by your computers on Monday morning because this will go down in the history books as one of the greatest stories ever told.

COMEGYS’ CAMPAIGN STRUCTURE ALTERED – MIKEY DUNN DRAFTED TO BOOST BUBBA!
It looks like Comegys got that wake-up call sent in the primary, when he nearly lost to both Jim Ireton and another quality candidate whose campaign was greatly impaired by an accident that confined him for a couple weeks and low funding. Even so, Bob Caldwell came within a few votes of sparing us the scary specter of "Mayor Bubba." It was probably that shenanigan by Barrie Tilghman a day or two before the primary – abusing the air-time afforded to her for "public affairs" programs on WICO – that pulled Comegys’ chestnuts from the fire on March 3.
But Bubba now knows better than to have Barrie and Richard Insley continue as his point persons in the upcoming general election like they did when Comegys was reelected (by a narrow margin) to City Council in 2007. That’s why you no longer see or hear Barrie shilling for him. And both Insley and SAPOA’s special Bubba-booster, T. J. Maloney, seem to have left the arena.
The most significant post-primary change in Bubba’s campaign is the presence of Mike Dunn, who now seems to be the point man after a hiatus of silence following his departure from both the Council and the City itself two years ago. Dunn attended the candidate forum on March 18 and another the following day, when he provided fodder for the Daily Times.
It looks like the only ones who are still playing a public role in the campaign are Lynn and Don (“More Taxes, Please”) Cathcart.
Comegys may come to regret having Howdy-Doody as his booster. There’s Mikey’s abyssmal record and asinine conduct as the leader of the "Dream Team" majority on the Council that was foisted on Salisbury residents by the Chamber of Commerce/Greater Salisbury Committee elitists, almost entirely non-residents, who deem it to be their inalienable right to control the City in order to use it as their cash cow. Recall the active involvement of Ron Alessi, Phil Tilghman and Brad Bellaciccio in the care and feeding of the Dream Team. Bubba’s campaign treasurer, Gamee Elliott, is a past president of the Chamber of Commerce. Then there’s Wm. Gordy – "Mr. Ubiquitous."
And recall that when Dunn left town in 2007, Barrie Tilghman said that there would be future work for him. Now we know what she did not disclose at that time.
Comegys is a pawn for the same business and commercial interests that both propagated and perpetuated Barrie Tilghman’s tenure as mayor to do their bidding. The reality that Jim Ireton could become mayor has them in frenzy. They were able to place an imposter, Louise Smith, on the Council in the last election, but that scam has been exposed. That they have recruited Dunn into the election process is proof that they are desperate.
So, look for Comegys’ campaign to become increasingly strident and negative in nature as his handlers, lead by Dunn, throw their malicious mud and manure at Jim Ireton. No doubt the Daily Times will play its usual role as handmaiden for the business and commercial elite. Salisbury voters ain’t seen nothin yet!
The Farm Bureau Holds Annual Dinner In Sharptown
The traditional center piece for a dinner like this would be fresh cut flowers. However, this year they felt with the economy the way it is, why not spend the same money on canned goods and dried goods in which they donated to the Joseph House. You're thinking, I like that!
The food was absolutely fabulous, (as usual). What really blew me away was the attendance. They had more than 300 people there last night and I have to tell you, this is about the most enjoyable group of people you'll ever come across. I met neighbors I had no idea were neighbors, all of them a complete pleasure to meet. I just love the fact that even though one might be some 4 or 5 miles away, we're in God's Country and quite frankly there just might not be that many homes in between our properties, therefore we actually are neighbors.
The volume of Politicians is quite overwhelming as well. Kratovil was a no show but says he really loves you and looks forward to working with everyone down the road, more or less. He did send one of his Staffers to the event but she didn't really look all too comfortable. I don't know why, because she's a very kind young lady.
As you can see from some of the pictures above, it was a well attended event by all. One thing I walked away from this event with, (besides some of the greatest fellowship good people can share) is that our Farmers are not too happy with the most recently passed legislation as well as what is on the table. Hopefully many of the Farmers can comment on this Post and share their own thoughts on this issue.
Our Eastern Shore Farmers truly do not get the recognition they deserve. I listened to some of the speeches where they mentioned millions upon millions of dollars worth of wheat going overseas and grown right here, "hopefully the Farmer made a profit off of it." Now that's a scary thought. However, if our Farmers didn't do what they do, well, quite frankly we'd all go hungry and die. We take their sun up to sun down hard work for granted and there's no doubt about that.
I personally think it's important to impress upon all of you this year to start purchasing much of your groceries from your local Farmers Market. Take your kids there and give them an education as to where this food comes from and shake hands with your local Farmers and thank them for what they do. It's a dying art Ladies & Gentlemen and our Federal Government is making it more and more difficult to produce and survive with very little profit left in the end. Of course, our Government knows more about Farming than Farmers do, right? NOT!
I'd like to thank the Farm Bureau for their invitation last evening and as always it was great to see so many friends and associates supporting the most wonderful group of people on Delmarva.
Salisbury Boxing
Hey Joe, I just wanted to let you know that Salisbury U junior, Bobby Hammond advanced to the semi-finals of the 156 lb division at the regional 2009 National Collegiate Boxing Championships at Rosecroft Raceway last night. I don't know all the details, but if he wins again tonight, he will fight in the National finals on April 2-4 at the Univ of Maryland. My father is there with the family this weekend and Hal Chernoff(sp) and Fernando are helping him as well.
Bobby Jr. has been trying to get Salisbury Univ to recognize boxing as a club sport, but the school has denied his attempts. With the success of Fernando and the Main St gym, it would be a great time to get more kids interested in boxing and off the streets. Maybe if SBYNews can do a little profile it will help his cause.

Knock, Knock, Who's There?
It's your District 2 Councilwoman Debbie Campbell, that's who. The reception Debbie has received has been overwhelmingly good this year. I truly don't know where she finds the time but let me assure you, this woman just doesn't stop. This go around I found her all the way back behind the State Police Barracks. I had no idea their District went that far!
